Girls living in a girls hostel while studying

Q: Can I live in a hostel with my sister for higher education?

A: A girl's place is the home. It is not in keeping with the standards of modesty and shame for a girl to live out of her home and away from the protection of her parents and guardians.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
